PG and PGXC share 99.9% of a common commit history, so yes simply adding a
remote to PGXC in your existing PG folder is good. This is how I do for my
own dev, and I believe that most of the people in this project do the same.
Doing that is particularly helpful when you want to merge PG code directly
in XC or when you need to have a look at the code diffs between both
projects.
